A look at XSLT 3.0 (2017)

A look at the upcoming XSLT 3.0 release, and why it matters beyond the XML community Eighteen years ago, the originators of XML specification faced a problem: how to use the new language to generate a book-publishing format.

Emulating aarch64 in software using JIT compilation and Rust

Emulating aarch64 in software using JIT compilation and Rust by Manos Pitsidianakis on 2025-08-25 I was able to write a simple just-in-time compiled emulator for the aarch64 ISA (Arm A-profile A64 Instruction Set Architecture). The Armv8-A/Armv9-A specs are massive in size, so the initial scope is for basic functionality and almost no optional architectural features such as SIMD. I wrote the emulator as an exercise in understanding how QEMU’s TCG (Tiny Code Generator) software emulation works

Best Air Fryer Toaster Ovens for 2025

Air fryer chicken wings These chicken wings cooked in the Ninja air fryer were a thing of beauty. David Watsky/CNET Chicken wings are almost universally loved and a very popular item to air fry. The goal for an air-fried wing is crispy outside and skin with a juicy inside. To test each oven's air fry ability, I cooked three frozen wings on air fry mode at 450 F for 30 minutes, turning them every 10 minutes. I let each oven come to full preheat before putting the wings in and then photographed

Falcon 9 Milestones Vindicate SpaceX’s ‘Dumb’ Approach to Reuse

As SpaceX's Starship vehicle gathered all of the attention this week, the company's workhorse Falcon 9 rocket continued to hit some impressive milestones. Both occurred during relatively anonymous launches of the company's Starlink satellites but are nonetheless notable because they underscore the value of first-stage reuse, which SpaceX has pioneered over the past decade. The first milestone occurred on Wednesday morning with the launch of the Starlink 10-56 mission from Cape Canaveral, Flori

In a new filing, Apple fights back against court’s ‘indefensible’ Epic Games ruling

Earlier this evening, Apple filed a reply brief with the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, arguing multiple points why the court should either reverse Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers’ 2021 decision, or vacate the new injunction and assign a new judge to the case.

Why Romania excels in international Olympiads

Olympiads are international student intellectual competitions in which students from across the world go toe-to-toe answering questions in mathematics, physics, informatics, chemistry, and more. The best performers tend to be from countries like China, the United States, India, and Japan. But, somehow, the southeastern European country of Romania also frequently tops the list. Since 2020, Romania’s performance in the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) has been nothing short of amazing. I

Delete Tests

You should delete tests We’ve had decades of thought leadership around testing, especially coming from wholistic development philosophies like Agile, TDD, and BDD. After all that time and several supposedly superseding movements, the developers I talk to seem to have developed a folk wisdom around tests.
